I started out collecting McGwire's HRs from #60-#70 in 1998. Then I collected all of them from 1998. Then I started to collect ALL of his HR tickets. Everytime the buying frenzy dies down I start a new collection! I moved to all of Jim Thome's HRs. Then Adam Dunn. Then Denny McLain 1968 wins, then Carlton 1972 wins,then Rickey Henderson stolen bases in 1982, then 3 homerun games, then Oakland A's 20 game win streak,then Randy Johnson wins, then Ichiro hits in 2004. It never ends. Its a horrible addiction! But its the chase that gets you. Be prepared to wait a LOOONNg time to finish any collection. I'm 16 years into my first one and still need 25 stubs to finish. I know Scott Garner is into his Ryan stub collection probably twice that long.
